A Clockwork Orange
Adapted from Anthony Burgess' novel of the same name, A Clockwork Orange was directed and produced by cinematic mastermind Stanley Kubrick. In a dystopian England of the future, Alex (Malcolm McDowell) and his "Droogs" spend their night inflicting "ultraviolence" upon innocent people. After he is imprisoned and conditioned to be physically sickened by the thought of violence, Alex returns to society—only for his prior victims to seek revenge.
Spotlight
Based on a true story, this powerful film is one of the most provocative and impactful newspaper films to date. Led by Walter Robinson (Michael Keaton), the Boston Globe's Spotlight team made it their mission to uncover the dark truth behind sexual abuse allegations and subsequent cover-ups within the Roman Catholic Church. The Globe won a Pulitzer in 2003 for its coverage of the issue.
